The Way Out for Women: A Comparative Study of Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls Trilogy and Li Ang’s The Butcher's Wife
My main focus is to compare and contrast the ways in which women are subjugated in different political, religious, and socio-cultural milieu, explore how and why women in both contexts are subject to and fight against patriarchal hegemonies, discuss the strategies O’Brien and Li Ang adopt in their attempts to unsettle male-dominated discourses, investigate the changing faces of gender politics embedded in their female writing, and evaluate the significance and implications of the research findings.

The Invisible Women: Re-evaluating Lady Gregory and Her Works in Modern Irish Literature
Lady Gregory significantly impacted modern Irish literature not only because she helped nurture some aspects of W.B. Yeats’s literary career but because she was committed to fostering and promoting the Irish people’s indigenous cultural identity through her writings. However, Lady Gregory’s identity as an intelligent woman is not given adequate credit, nor are works about her well discussed. This literary study helps us re-examine this great female writer in Irish literature. Lady Gregory’s devotion to the establishment and the management of the Abbey Theater and her plays which promote Irish nationalism belie the fact that, in addition to being a qualified theater runner and supporter, she was also an intelligent woman. Moreover, Lady Gregory was a woman who craved emotional and sexual satisfaction. Nonetheless, Lady Gregory’s intelligence and her sexuality were, to a certain degree, hampered by her self-imposed monitoring as well as the hostile patriarchal culture of the early twentieth century. By investigating Lady Gregory and her works and works on her, this study enables us to better understand the conflict and compromise of being a woman and a writer in a male-dominated society and hopefully paves the way for our understanding of women in the 21st century.

Rethinking Multiculturalism in New Dubliners: An Outsider’s Perspective
Unlike the essentialism salient in the past, Ireland in the 21st century is characterized by its multicultural facades. However, multicultural as it may appear, Ireland as a member of the European Union seems to tighten its ties with other European countries, while immigrants from non-EU countries tend to be disregarded or even discriminated in different aspects. Such Eirecentrism (or more broadly Eurocentrism) finds evidence in everyday practices and contemporary Irish literature as well. This project aims to investigate how such Eirecentrism is represented and how non-EU outsiders are unfavorably constructed and excluded in New Dubliners, a short story collection published in 2005 in honor of Joyce’s writing of Dubliners a century ago.
Project Start Year: 2011, Principal Investigator(s): CHANG, Tsung-chi Hawk 張崇旂

First Book Prize
Dr Hawk Chang Tsung-chi has been named recipient of the First Book Prize 2019 by the Hong Kong Academy of the Humanities (HKAH) for his monograph titled Ireland Then and Now: Traditions and Difference in Contemporary (Irish) Short Fiction (published by Springer in 2021). He was also awarded a Junior Fellowship (currently re-titled Early Career Fellow) in the Academy for a five-year term. The First Book Prize aims to give recognition and encouragement for early career achievement among scholars of the humanities working in Hong Kong. The Prize called for submissions from all researchers at local higher education institutions for their first English scholarly monograph of the humanities. HKAH will present an annual prize for the best-submitted manuscript by a humanities scholar. Each year, the winner will be awarded a contract with Springer for the book to be published in The Humanities in Asia series and a Junior Fellowship of the Academy.
